Ron Paul's 2012 endorsement

[CarmelHP]

Wow. read what he said. I don't FULLY endorse him. That implies that he is partially endorsing him. Endorsing him with reservation. Why? Because he knows that Romney is the lesser of of the evils and the only person who stands a chance to beat Obama. He votes for Romney. Very few people FULLY endorse any candidate ever. But RP knows that Romney is better than Obama so he gives him a partial endorsement. Yout guys kill me. Your own hero is voting for Romney LMAO.

“And you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I am going to vomit you from my mouth.”

This is really weaseling. He doesn't want to endorse, but doesn't want to not endorse him. Not very courageous. Sounds more like the politician that he isn't supposed to be.

To win the war you need to remember what you are fighting for.
I will never vote the lesser of two evils again.I know what I am fighting for.

You don't have to do that and you should not do that AND it is out of place for others to TELL you to do that. For me I am pretty clear, it is about SCOTUS. Not even 2A or 1stA issues, and even then it is fairly stinky.

Great study done up here about how many people have lost friends this year over discussing politics. 50% state they have tried to change peoples minds, in turn 1 out of 4 have lost friends over it. Huh, go figure.

FYI my neighborhood, in Paul Ryan's district, is the only one where a Democrat won in a WI recall election. In 2012 very few people will walk down my sidewalk if they see me outside. Bang on my door and ask for my signature and my opinion and you will get one at least. Yet my raging liberal UW Prof neighbor loves us and we even went to their family reunion. I am pretty sure his wife will vote split ticket for Romney. For all the crap you hear about WI, in our district they voted Obama yet 68% voted for Ryan. Now that is a split personality.

With RP a partial endorsement is a ***** move if I ever I saw one if he votes for Johnson. So the question is why did he do it? He traded it for something. If he endorses Romney and votes for Johnson what do we call that? I will give the man the benefit of the doubt and some respect and assume he partially endorses some of what Romney stands for, held his nose and did what I call a Queen of the Pigs thing and voted Romney.

If not, I will give money to Rand's next opponent just to remove the whole family from politics before they become the Kentucky Kennedy's.

So you aren't voting republican or democrat?

Good for you.

Many republicans are under the illusion that some of the more liberal members of the court have been appointed by democrats.

Many republicans are ignorant of their history.

Perhaps he received an expressed or implied threat from the party regarding his son? Perhaps this is the cost of having some influence on the direction of the party even if far from what one would hope? I would want to know more before forming an immovable conclusion.

So...what you're saying is that he endorses Willard?

So...what you're saying is that he endorses Willard?

He is endorsing none, favoring none, embracing none.
He realizes that every candidate in the race at this point is a poor choice.

Gotcha...so since I voted Ron Paul before and he is out, I'm suppose to vote Romney.

 

[lucky4034]

Ron Paul took an Oath. Don't be surprised he is honoring his Oath by not endorsing a traitor.

Exactly!!!

This is the reason we like the guy so much... because he isn't going to sell out on his principles no matter what is deemed popular.

How did you sneak that into what I just said?

No, you vote how you want.
That's the whole point of this Republic.
Hell, vote for the Socialist if you feel like it.
Totally your choice.

But I will be abstaining from voting for President this election.

 

[flagtag]

There is no law that says that you have to vote. Your choice.
My choice: I will vote for the pro-American.

 

[Expat]

I voted for Ron Paul in the primary. But I have not been waiting on him to tell me who to vote for in the general election.
